Should I stay or should I go?
If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know

What’s the problem here? You’ve done a cost-benefit analysis and determined that the amount of trouble you will have if you stay will be 200% of the amount you will have if you go. Therefore, you should clearly go.

To the contrary, he’s only telling us about the ‘cost’ side of the analysis. I assume he’s asking what the ‘benefits’ of staying might be so that he can then do said Analysis and make a decision.
Also, he’s only told us relative costs. If his ‘go trouble’ is going to be 0.01TroubleUnits then doubling that is not so much trouble.

Not quite a question, but there is some stupid pop song that just drives me nuts. The guy sings, “I don’t know why/I can’t keep my eyes off of you”. Uh, probably cause you wanna taste her sweetmeats, buddy. Yeah, erections can be so confusing!
Most of the obvious questions seem to come from my kids.
Q: “Are we there yet?”
A: “We passed it 30 minutes ago. I just decided that I didn’t want to stop.”
Q: “Can we go now?”
A: “Sure, you go tell Grandma that you’re bored and don’t want to stay for the rest of her mother’s funeral. I’m sure she’ll be fine with that.”
Q: “Are you sleeping?”
A: “Nope. I was just laying in this dark bedroom with my eyes closed and thinking just how wonderful it would be if a child would pry my eyelids open. Thank you!”
